Kamchatkan (Kamchatic) is a former dialect cluster spoken on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
[2] The three varieties were spoken in western, eastern, and southern Kamchatka.
The degree of difference can be illustrated with the pronoun 'we', which is Western muza, muza'n, Southern muš, burin, Eastern buze.
Although distant enough for doubts about its relationship to have been raised (as in Volodin 1976), cognate morphology clearly demonstrates that it forms a family with Chukotkan,[2] though it also has some striking contrasts, especially in the area of phonology.
[3] Michael Fortescue believes that Kamchatkan may have a substratum of a language formerly spoken by a remnant Beringian population.
